About

Bourton-on-the-Water sits within a shallow, pastoral valley in the northeastern Cotswolds. The River Windrush, a defining feature, flows directly through its centre, crossed by several low, arched stone bridges. The surrounding area consists of open farmland, gentle hills, and scattered woodland typical of the region. The local architecture is characterised by traditional honey-coloured limestone buildings, with many structures dating to the 17th and 18th centuries.

The wider Vale area encompasses a series of similar villages built along the Windrush and its tributaries. Land use is primarily agricultural, with sheep grazing and arable fields. A notable detail is the presence of a scaled-down model village, a precise replica of Bourton itself, located within the community. The landscape is defined by dry stone walls, quiet country lanes, and the clear, shallow waters of the river running through the village green.
